Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Jersey Grasshopper sighting in Porto on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 395th most-seen of the 498 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Jersey Grasshopper in Porto on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. Those are among Porto's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain a month against 140 mm in January.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Jersey Grasshopper sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Jersey Grasshopper sightings, Porto ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Lisbon (Portugal, about 10%).
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Jersey Grasshopper that you can see in Porto (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Egyptian Bird Grasshopper (about 10%), Broad Green-Winged Grasshopper (about 10%) and Woodland Grasshopper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Jersey Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Porto (7 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
